The Cohort of Indonesian Preterm Infants for Long-term Outcomes (CIPTO) study: a protocol.

Background: Indonesia has high numbers of preterm birth, i.e., around 600,000 preterm births annually.

Defining postnatal growth failure among preterm infants in Indonesia.

Background: Postnatal growth failure (PGF) frequently occurred among preterm infants with malnutrition. The decline in a weight-for-age -score of ≥1.2 has been proposed to define PGF.

Determinants of neonatal deaths in Indonesia: A national survey data analysis of 10,838 newborns.

Background: Neonatal mortality is one of the key impediments in achieving global sustainable development goals, especially in lower middle income countries (LMICs). As an LMIC with the highest reported neonatal mortality rate in Southeast Asia, Indonesia faces inequitable distribution of health facilities across the archipelago. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to evaluate the determinants of neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia to search for better strategies to overcome this problem.

Factors Affecting Oral Feeding Ability in Indonesian Preterm Infants.

Most preterm infants exhibit atypical and immature feeding skills. Even though preterm infants have fulfilled the oral feeding readiness criteria, they still do not have optimal oral feeding ability. This study aimed to determine various factors affecting oral feeding ability in Indonesian preterm infants who have fulfilled oral feeding readiness criteria but still have not been able to feed orally.
